15 Best Acai Bowls in Singapore: The Standouts, the Cheapest & Where to Find Each (2023)

Acai bowls turned from a gym-crowd treat into an everyday snack you can grab in most malls and a few heartland void decks. The catch is price and portion: a good bowl runs about $8 to $15, and the toppings matter as much as the base. Here are 15 spots worth ordering from, each with its area, an indicative price and the one thing it does well. Prices are from 2023, so treat them as a guide.

1. Poke Theory

Central, CBD outlets · bowls from about $8.90 · fast-casual poke and acai.

Poke Theory is a quick, fast-food-first counter better known for poke, but its acai bowls hold their own for a working lunch. Regulars rate the fresh ingredients and generous scoop. Easy to grab near the office and reliable if you want something cold and filling without queueing at a dessert cafe.

2. Project Açaí

Holland Village, Orchard, Katong, VivoCity and more · bowls from about $7.50 · dairy-free, blended in-store.

Project Açaí blends its base in small batches in each store daily, and everything is dairy-free and vegan-friendly. With outlets across the island it is the easiest of the dedicated brands to reach. Start with the Original Flower Bowl if you want the cheapest way in, or the Nuts for Açaí if you want it heartier.

3. Afterglow

Keong Saik Road, Chinatown · acai bowl about $17 · plant-based restaurant.

Afterglow is a whole-foods, plant-based restaurant rather than a grab-and-go counter, so this is the sit-down option. The signature acai bowl uses organic acai with fresh fruit, nuts and seeds, no preservatives or artificial additives. It costs more than a mall bowl, but you get a proper meal and a full plant-based menu around it.

4. The Good Boys

Tai Seng and Raffles Place · bowls about $12 · juices and smoothie bowls too.

The Good Boys leans into fruit-forward bowls and cold-pressed super juices, built for a fast, healthy weekday fix. Diners like that the acai here runs on the less-sweet side, so it tastes of fruit rather than syrup. The Tai Seng branch opens early and takes weekend crowds; Raffles Place is weekday-only.

5. The Berry Spot

Esplanade Mall · bowls about $12.90 · organic, sustainably sourced acai.

The Berry Spot sources organic acai and lets you build the bowl with granola, nuts, coconut flakes or chia. It sits inside Esplanade Mall, handy before a show or a walk along the bay. Toppings are the draw, so load up the one you like.

6. Nana's Açaí

Toa Payoh, near Braddell MRT · bowls about $11.60 · heartland scoop, heavy on toppings.

Nana's is the neighbourhood find in Toa Payoh, an area short on acai, and it earns its regulars with a creamy, not-too-sweet base and a generous drizzle. Premium toppings like macadamia and goji berries lift the Nutty Bowl. Worth the stop if you live north-central and don't want to trek into town.

7. RB~liciouz

Hougang Rivercourt · bowls from about $8.90 · acai plus vegan ice-cream and waffles.

RB~liciouz covers acai, smoothies, vegan ice-cream and vegetarian waffles, so it works for a mixed group where not everyone wants a bowl. Sizes go from a small Chia Chia Bowl up to the larger Berry Good. A practical heartland option in the north-east.

8. An Açaí Affair

Multiple outlets · bowls roughly $6.70 to $15.50 · one of the larger acai chains.

An Açaí Affair is one of the biggest dedicated acai names here, with bowls sized from a snack cup to a full meal, so you pay for the portion you actually want. The tiered pricing makes it the flexible pick when one person wants a light bite and another wants lunch. Customisable toppings across the board.

9. Men On A Mission

Robinson Road, Oxley Tower (CBD) · bowls about $11.90 · Indo-fusion poke and acai.

Men On A Mission (MOAM) pairs acai and smoothies with Indo-fusion poke, a good shout if you want a bowl and a proper lunch in the same order. It sits in the Tanjong Pagar office belt, so it is a weekday CBD stop. Try the São Paulo if you want the fruitier build.

10. Momo Acai

Toa Payoh (Lor 4) · bowls from about $6.50 · the first acai store in Toa Payoh.

Momo bills itself as the first acai store in Toa Payoh, built by acai fans for acai fans, and it is one of the cheaper sit-downs on this list. Petite sizes keep it snackable and affordable. A solid, low-cost heartland scoop if you are around the central estates.

11. Novo Acai & Granola

Lorong Chuan, New Tech Park · bowls about $11.50 to $15.50 · house granola recipes.

Novo makes granola the point, with its own specialty recipes layered into the bowl, so the crunch and flavour come from more than a scatter of shop-bought oats. Sizes step up in price if you want the bigger portion. Handy for the New Tech Park working crowd.

12. The Summer Açaí

Chain outlets · bowls from about $9.90 · playful, less-conventional builds.

The Summer Açaí trades on unconventional bowls and a wide topping range rather than a single house style. Sizes and combinations give you room to make it your own. A dependable chain option when you want variety over a signature recipe.

13. The Oatberry Cafe

Scotts Square, Orchard · bowls about $10.90 · gluten-free, allergy-friendly.

Oatberry is the pick for dietary needs: gluten-free, plant-based and allergy-friendly, with eight house granola variants, organic acai, vegan waffles and specialty coffee. Being in Scotts Square makes it an easy Orchard stop. Order the Powernutter if you want it rich.

14. Acai Brothers Singapore

Anchorpoint, Alexandra · Australian superfood-bar franchise.

Acai Brothers is an Australian superfood-bar brand doing bowls, smoothies, juices and coffee, and its Anchorpoint outlet brings that format to the Alexandra stretch. Expect a familiar cafe menu built around the bowl. Convenient if you are shopping around Queensway or IKEA Alexandra.

15. Coocaca

Liat Towers, Orchard · bowls about $14.50 · soft-serve, smoothies and acai.

Coocaca uses real fresh fruit across its soft-serve, smoothies and acai bowls, and its Liat Towers spot puts it right on Orchard Road. Pricier than a heartland bowl, but the fruit quality shows. Good for a treat after a shopping run in town.

How to pick a good acai bowl

• Watch the sugar, not just the acai. The base is antioxidant-rich, but syrups, honey drizzles and sweet toppings pile on the calories. A less-sweet base (The Good Boys, Nana's) tastes more of fruit.
• Pay for the portion you want. Bowls range from about $6.50 snack cups to $17 restaurant plates. Chains with tiered sizes (An Açaí Affair, Project Açaí) let you match the price to your hunger.
• Toppings are the real value. Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds and house granola are what separate a good bowl from an average one, so lean towards spots that let you build it.
• Buy it fresh. Acai is best eaten straight away, so a made-to-order counter beats a pre-packed tub sitting in a chiller.

Acai bowls in Singapore: quick questions

How much does an acai bowl cost in Singapore?

Most bowls run about $8 to $15. Heartland counters like Momo Acai start near $6.50, while sit-down restaurants such as Afterglow charge around $17 for a full plant-based bowl.

Are acai bowls healthy?

The acai base is high in antioxidants and fibre, but the total depends on the toppings. Sweet drizzles, granola and honey add sugar and calories quickly, so a less-sweet base with fresh fruit and nuts is the healthier build.

Where can I get an acai bowl in the heartlands?

Toa Payoh has two, Nana's Açaí near Braddell MRT and Momo Acai on Lorong 4, while RB~liciouz sits in Hougang Rivercourt. These are cheaper and quieter than the town outlets.
